Brett Jollie has been named Australasian managing director of the newly merged Aberdeen Asset Management and Standard Life.

The combined entity announced the new structure today, with Simone Bouch being named as head of Distribution.

Jollie had been managing director of Aberdeen Asset Management in Australia while Bouch had been head of Standard Life Investments in Australasia.

Stuart James, who was Aberdeen’s Head of Distribution in Australia will retain a senior role in the business, while Standard Life Investments Australasia chairman, Peter Young, will continue to advice the business, working closely with the management team.

Commenting on the changes, Jollie said he was excited by the prospects for the newly-merged business which he believed would present compelling opportunities for both clients and colleagues.

“Our clients gain access to a vast global network of investment experts and a far broader and deeper range of capabilities,” he said. “Our greater scale means we are well-placed to build tailored solutions and navigate the complex investment environment in which we now operate. Our people will benefit from being part of a global business with scale and diversity.”

Bouch said the merger created a powerful and truly global distribution reach across institutional and wholesale markets.
